Wealthy estate suit over $1250 gift before death
In Judge Donlan's court Mrs. Le titia M. Hamen testified that A W Alexander gave her a check for 1250 dollars the night before his death and insisted nothing was attached. Mrs. Alexander claims the sum was to cover funeral expenses, while Hamen denied any conditions. Alexander had been ill and in a hospital, and the trial aims to determine if the gift was a freewill offering or bound for the widow. Estates of John Atten noted mining assets valued at 21206.10 with substantial holdings and cash, while a contest over the will is anticipated among possible German relatives and a Colorado brother.
